Ramblings under the cut:

We purposely did not include the main romantic pairs from the movies (Will & Elizabeth, Elizabeth & Jack, Elizabeth & Norrington, Calypso & Davy Jones, Philip & Syrena, Jack & Angelica, Henry & Carina...) but that's not saying if you see romance up there it's a wrong interpretation (at least not for the human pairs)

Of the 9 pairs, 8 are in the movies (definitely the trilogy). Anne and Mary are the painted ladies visitors see while standing in line for the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. They were supposed to be worked into other places, the rides and movies both, but it never panned out. Scarlett and Giselle are the pair of working women who slap Jack multiple times, their story is explained in a short. We went looking for Ladies to include.

We included Sumbhajee and Askay solely because of Askay casting the vote for Sumbhajee for Sumbhajee. It lives rent free.

Jack (not the monkey) gets two pairs because we say a list of this very concept which included "Jack and the Black Pearl" and had to go with it, BUT we did want to honor Gibbs too (plus we felt Gibbs was a truer pair than Will or Barbossa for Jack).

Finally we are expecting Murtogg & Mullroy and Pintel & Ragetti to be leading, but we do live to be surprised!

Billy Mack as Davy Jones (Bill Nighy)

Hiya kids. Here is an important message from your Uncle Bill. Don't stab people for a job. Make sure you get the heart, and they give you a ship, crew, and curse for free!

I left the Dutchman, where there were a hefty number of half-fish sailors with their souls damned, in order to negotiate with you, on this beach.

But wouldn't it have been great if Number One on this poll wasn't some smug protagonist, but an old ex-heroin addict searching for a comeback in any film?

1/3: We were debating about how the Pirates of the Caribbean movies worked so well specifically focused on the trilogy's main trio's dynamics. We need your thoughts.

If you had to pick:

Who is the main character in Curse of the Black Pearl?

Captain Jack Sparrow

Elizabeth Swann

William Turner

It Is Entirely A Collective Effort

Other Character (tag/comment)
